Kepler-905 and Its Earth-like Planet
Kepler-905 is a star 1730 light-years away with one known planet, Kepler-905 b. The host star is 1.66 billion years old, has a mass of 0.95 solar masses, a radius of 0.86 solar radii, and a temperature of 5460 K. Each of these measurements places the star slightly below the Sun: its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
Kepler-905 b was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish the planet's orbital period, or its year.
Kepler-905 b is classified as Earth-like, a size class for planets with radii up to 1.5 times Earth's. Its radius is 1.41 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and its orbital period is 5.08 days.
